Interim Control Ordinance

The Interim Control Ordinance (ICO) for our neighborhoods of Brookside, Sherman Oaks and Sycamore Square have been approved by the City Council on Wednesday, June 29th, 2016.

The ICO would restrict the issuance of building permits for a "project" (defined as the construction, erection, alteration of, or addition to single-family dwelling units located entirely or partially in the project area). The ICO, by itself, does not propose or authorize any development. The ICO would restrict the issuance of a building permit for a project that is not consistent with the provisions of the ICO and would ensure future single-family units constructed in the area maintain massing, size, height and setbacks compatible with the existing single-family units.
